Eric Schmidt promises early release

A Mac version of the Google Chrome web browser is likely to be available by Christmas, earlier than initially reported.

Google chief executive Eric Schmidt broke the news at a New York press conference responding to a question about Chrome's market share, which some have claimed is disappointing.

"I see a lot of Macs in this room, and a lot of very sophisticated people are using Macs now and we need to get a version of Chrome out for that, which we'll have in a couple of months. The key to browser strength is speed."
